This 1890 chromolithograph, part of the "Yacht Colors of the World" series by W. Duke, Sons & Co., depicts Mary Anderson, a member of the New Brunswick Yacht Club, in her club colors. The image, likely printed on a card promoting Honest Long Cut Tobacco, features Anderson in a blue sailor's uniform and cap, with her club flag and other nautical imagery framing her portrait. This series provides a fascinating glimpse into the social world of sailing and club culture in late 19th century America.
